Soft proofing oddity

2006-03-15 by Brian Smith

Hi, joined today!

I just got my printfix pro suite 9 hours ago and I've successfully 
calibrated my monitor and done a printer profile for epson archival 
matte on an epson 2100. Prints are looking great, better shadows than 
epson's profiles I think, better saturation than using epson's 
profiles. The prints match the screen, job done.

One strangeness though. I have been using PS CS2 soft proofing for 
some time and, using the epson profiles, there was good agreement 
between the soft proof and final print. Using the profile I just 
generated, which as I said is giving great results, the soft proofs 
are weird. They are desaturated and hugely too light ie light flat 
shadows. They don't look anything like the print produced.

Does this make any sense?
